Blabbing The Blob

Fresh off his return to Haddonfield with Halloween II-'09, Rob Zombie plans to write, direct and produce a $30 million remake of 1958 horror classic "The Blob" says Variety.



Iconic tough guy Steve McQueen starred in the 50's classic, which saw an object from space falls into a field, containing a red blob-like substance that absorbs the humans it contacts and grows exponentially. Zombie's new pic will take a different route...

Exact details are not yet known but Zomibie says "my intention is not to have a big red blobby thing -- that's the first thing I want to change."

Can you make a Blob film without a "blobby"?

2 things are for sure about the new Blob flick--we will see lots of gore and hear a lot of F-bombs

Chuck Russell directed an update back in 1988. Three years ago yet another remake was being worked on but quickly aborted...

The latest film is of course aiming for an 'R' rating. Production will begin next spring.
